Ok, so, I have a few questions about stuff that I've seen on this thread (and a few comments.)

1) What are your recommendations for SetCPU for the BEST BATTERY LIFE? I care very little about performance since I normally just lose a lot of battery life texting.

2) I read a post saying the ad blocker takes up battery... is this possible? I'm not sure how it would be since it just edits the hosts file and the hosts file just blocks stuff... which means it should improve battery life (won't need the connection for the ads)

3) How are y'all calibrating your batteries? I'm not sure if mine's calibrating or not... :/

Ok, for the comments.

1) GPS - Mine works fine; actually better than ever. I did the DI18->DK28 fix a little while ago and actually went back to DI18, so, if you're having a problem with the GPS, try Odining DI18 then EB13 and see if that works. Make sure GPS works on DI18! I've read a couple of these threads and it seems that you're coming straight from DK28. Then again, I didn't read every post (just a majority of them) so sorry if there's already a fix posted.

2) Flashing - If it's taking you a long time to flash/it's flashing incorrectly, try Odining EB13 stock before. I'm pretty sure I was one of the first people to try this ROM after it was released and I had just previously went from DI18 to EB13 (the one that... I forgot the user's name, but it's prerooted and with CWM3) and took one flash and everything works fine except for the bugs that everyone's pointing out.

3) Some people keep asking questions over and over again... if anyone wants to make a like "fixes" post, that'd be nice. If no one else wants to, then I'll do it. I've got some free time on my hands, plus the post underneath the OPs ;)

Tl;dr - read it all!

Anyway, thanks for reading and post back I guess!

Best recommendations for battery with setcpu is 100-1000 set conservative. If your having problems with the phone waking up then 200-1000 conservative

I run mine at 100-1000 conservative, and 100-200 on screen off. No slow wakes, runs fine, and spends A LOT of time in 100-200, saving battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
so how can you adjust your settings for power.

i am gonna take the screen off auto brightness. then i gonna see about battery life. also dont use aim all the time, log out unless you need it as it takes battery i think.... same for yahoo messenger.

I was using the Viper DK28 ROM before I switch to this one and in that rom they have a Volume Hack. That hack makes the phone alerts louder (ring, notification, etc) which is desperately needed with this phone. Anyone know if that hack will work on this rom? I am back to not being able to hear this thing when its in my pocket :(

Yes, Twighlight installed. Everything looked as though airplane mode was turned on (i.e. 3G replaced with airplane icon), but yet a text message came in while in that mode. Really kind of freaked me out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Sounds like just some sort of fluke....
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
It probably came in before you put it in airplane mode but the mms app was hanging like its been known to do and something you did caused it to show delivered after you put it in airplane mode
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
you could just put it on vibrate, done that with my phones for 20 years. no ringing at inopportune times, and you won't miss the vibration in your pocket. i think you can also set it to vibrate with the ringer on as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
I know folks were talking about the 3g icons. Please do not change the ones you guys have in this rom. I love the nice and simple 3g and 1x icons! Very easy to see in the sunlight. Nice contrast with no gay rainbow colors like I have seen on other themes...love these!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
I'm running 100-1200 On Demand with no problems using SetCPU. Is it ok to use custom profiles with this? Right now I also have a Screen Off profile running between 100-200 with 50% priority.

Thanks for the excellent rom devs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Conservative saves more battery, if it doesn't give you any glitches or freezes.

Also priority doesn't matter if its the only profile you have. It's priority over OTHER profiles. 100 being the highest.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
It looks like its waking up fine with Conservative so far. Should I delete the Screen Off profile or leave it? If so, on Demand or Conservative?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
so what is the best way to get the bling back, the stock seems faster when going between pages.... and with ket presses....
[Epic 4G Android Development] f16pilot:
It was obviously a fluke, but the odd thing was it didn't appear until 10-15 minutes after I put it into airplane mode and the date/time stamp was exactly when it came in (which may always be the case). I may try again, just for grins to see if I can duplicate it. More words to follow...
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Think of it this way:

The phone normally idles at the lowest speed (100).

If you are running conservative 100-1200. When there is need for the cpu to ramp up it does it "conservatively" and scales up a few steps at a time, maybe 200, then 400 them 800, then 1200 in order. If the cpu needs are met at any given speed, lets say 800, it will throttle back down to the lowest speed from there.

If you are running ondemand 100-1200, the phone will still try to idle at 100, but when there is ANY cpu demand, it ramps up to the highest cpu speed. In your instance 1200. Your cpu will be running at higher speeds than if you were in conservative, hence, worse battery life.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it will matter if your profile of 100-200 is on conservative or ondemand. Since both conservative and on demand will ramp up to 200 on their first 'step'.

*edit*

Phone runs fine on 100-200 screen off, and wakes normally when I need to use my phone, but I just received a phone call and there was a little bit of lag when trying to pick up. Still worth the battery savings imo. Maybe your phone doesn't have that issue, if it does and you don't want the lag, you might have to consider 100-400 screen off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Just in case anyone else has seen this. Dolphin Browser crashes all the time for me. I tried reinstalling, didn't work. I will find the folder on the SD card and delete it next, although I have no idea what folder that is.

Also, I put the phone on speaker phone and mute, and it got stuck like that. This could be a fluke though because I was using a 1500 MAH AC plug which locks the screen up so that might have been the cause. I will see if it happens with a normal powered plug (500 to 1000).

I just wanted to share in case anyone else has seen this so that can debug before 1.1 releases. Love this ROM by the way. SOOOOO fast.

awesome rom. I DL'ed and flashed the twilight frozen zip. The second posts says that it lets you use the on demand governor. What does that mean? Isnt it automatically set to 1.2? I just pulled a 2005 in quad. Does that sound right?

Thanks all. Loving this ROM! I just want to get the most our of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
I would recommend getting setcpu though, you can obtain it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

Download 2.11a, and unzip the file to ur desktop or something. Then move the .apk file to your sd card and use astro or adao file manager to find the file and just install it from the sd card. Make sure to set it at on demand after it auto detects.

I originally flashed the standard one not the fully loaded. I just flashed the fully loaded version and the gps seems to be responding normally, not sure why, it doesn't really make any sense, but I'll let you know if anything changes. Thank you for your post.

That is up to you. If you want better battery life, I'd go with 100 1000, but if battery life isn't an issue for you and you want more performance, I'd just leave it.

Stuck on Samsung logo

Just dowloaded and flashed the full version. Coming from the Nova rom on EB13. I did the wipes on the caches but it has been sitting there with the Sammy logo for 5 minutes. Anyone have to wait any longer for the initial boot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Shouldn't have the sammy logo. something didn't go right. Make sure you have a good download and that you followed the directions exactly. If so then just flash again. Sometimes that just happens.

Don't uninstall, freeze. If you remove you can't set custom ringtones, etc and will more than likely fc.

First ROM I have used that appears to be forcing me to ODIN back to stock. Tried flashing SuperNova, which worked before, after flashing this and I am still getting stuck on the Sammy logo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. also do not restore all your data. Use titanium or MyBackup to save only the data you have to have and restore that. Most problems are from dk28/di18 leftovers or some other corrupt files. This is a very clean rom that is very different from stock so you have to be a little more careful what you restore. Once you are on it you won't have the same problems.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Number one rule when flashing:if rom is not flashing right use Odin.

When I flash any rom I aways Odin(unless its an upgrade of same rom and even then I wipe 3 times) plus I never use any backup apps and I never have any problems with any rom.

Yes,using Odin,One Click Root and setting up your apps manualy will add extra 20 minutes but it will save you hours in the long run.

Is Supernova ext4? I was stuck on the samsung logo when I had a bad flash updating the kernal so I would bet the kernal is where your issue lies. Three bad flashes seems unlikely...

As I said I did wipe all the caches...I never got to a point to restore data nor do I normally do that. I odind' to stock, re-rooted and tried this ROM again and I am getting the same exact thing. Boot to Sammy logo and it sits.

Ah. Dolphin issue known. Ok. And the power supply (1500mah) was the problem with my speaker/mute lockup earlier.

But you know what I've noticed....some webpages won't come up at all. Mostly links from google...BUT also links from inside a site to another page in the same site don't work.

I have the app called syncmypix for facebook image copying to your google account. Worked great on the viper ROM. Now when the permission to access facebook page pops up. Crash.

I wonder if the lmhost type file that blocks ads is a little too agressive in some way. Can I remove the adblock to test this theory out? Anyone have any ideas. Love the speed and stability of this rom other than these issues.

time without cell signal

in the battery use section under cell standby my phone always says Time without signal 50%. I am in a major city and have great signal. It still says the same thing after rebooting and being in an area with 4 bars for an hour. Is this normal or something i need to fix somehow?
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
nothing to worry about. pre-froyo it caused a significant battery drain but is no longer an issue. it reports TWS but is not actually time without service. If I understand correctly, this is because the phone thinks it's looking for both GSM and CDMA service. If you are still concerned, toggling airplane mode on and off will fix the bug. Like I said, however, it no longer has any effect on battery life.

EDIT: The instructions under that link say: "Step 4. Tick Repartition". I'm not sure if that is correct (please let me know if I am wrong), I didn't think you were ever supposed to repartition in Odin. I thought that doing so can brick your phone. Proceed with caution!
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Yes, use that odin flash for an easy ext4 conversion (I was on it before flashing over to this).

If you are on rft then repartition. You will only brick if you don't have the tar and pit files selected (which setup the filesystem after you repartition). Just read the instructions in the thread, they are very clear, follow them step by step.

Hey guys, I just flashed today, and I'm absolutely loving it so far. Super snappy, battery life seems great, and overall rock solid stable. Thank you ACS for all your hard work!

There's only one bug I've found so far, and it's unfortunately a persistent and annoying one. Whenever I connect to 3g data (and sometimes when I disconnect), I get an fc that reads "The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly." This happens using any method of connecting to 3g - manually disabling and re-enabling data, using airplane mode, or when I receive a call.

Anybody experience this problem?

Edit: I think I've isolated the problem. Whenever I try to sync my contacts to google, I get the same fc error. Unfortunately, I tried to fix it by clearing the cache on my contacts list, which completely broke my contacts program - I can't even go into contacts without getting an fc from android.process.acore.

Should I try reflashing?

There have been data corruption issues for limited numbers of users. We believe it's caused by the modified libsqlite.so - it will be removed in 1.0.1.

Sorry it didn't work well for you - but that's definitely a bad flash. Be sure to follow the installation notes in the second post. Odin to a clean EB13, format your SD card, and redownload the ROM - those steps will guarantee proper operation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] anti09:
I re-wiped everything and re-flashed, and so far the problem seems fixed. But then again, it also didn't happen right away when I first installed, I'm not really sure why it started happening.

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Only in CWM3. In 1.0.2, that won't be neccesary - but we're making some pretty major changes to 1.0.1 (new noCIQ mod, removing modified libsqlite.so, more).
